Nepal Needs

Tent city adjacent to Pinkey's house

HealthEd Connect health workers in Kathmandu

We received an email from Pinkey today saying she just became aware of a village about 70 kilometers from Kathmandu that is in deperate need of help.   Dhansing, a village in Nuwakot District, is located in a remote area that has received no assistance.  The village was badly damaged by the first earthquake but the villagers managed to collect materials from destroyed buildings and cobble together temporary shelters.  Then along came the second earthquake and destroyed even the make-shift shelters.  Pinkey is working with Balaram Poudel, a young man in the village, to deliver desperately needed tents.  Since it is a rural area, food is available from their fields but tents are crucial since the rains have already started.

Thanks to generous HealthEd Connect supporters, we have raised over $12,000 and  were able to send additional funds to Pinkey to aid this village.  Pinkey and her husband, Binod, are continuing to live in a tent adjacent to their damaged house.   She and the volunteer soyamsabika health workers are running their aid operation from a "tent city" they created for various individuals without shelter.  If you'd like to help Pinkey and her team just go to our website www.healthedconnect.org and Donate Now.
